Butternut Squash Soup

It’s when I’m at the calmest and most relaxed state that the recipes come easily to me. I received an immersion blender as a Christmas gift and of course I knew I wanted to make some sort of soup and put this bad boy to use!

Butternut Squash is something that had been wanting to do for quite some time as I have heard it has a creamy texture that can be use in both savory and sweet dishes. What better dish than a soup when you feel like you’re coming down with something?

For this recipe I used turkey broth, but you can substitute with chicken or vegetable broth if you like.

If you cannot find Havarti cheese, you can use Italian Fontina cheese in this. If you do not like cheese at all in your soups you can omit this ingredient.

To add a bit more crunch to the soup, feel free to add croutons when serving! (For those who cannot have bread, you can cut some Glutinos or Udi’s white sandwich bread in small cubes and toast them on a pan and top the soup with these)
